Key Takeaways
- Hussein Mohammed says the FKF Executive had no power to suspend him because he never called the meeting.
- He denies any Ksh 42 million was lost, insisting CAF, not FKF, handled CHAN 2025 insurance.
- The President claims the move is a revenge plot linked to his anti-corruption stand.
Football Kenya Federation President Hussein Mohammed has brushed aside his suspension by 12 Executive Committee members, calling the gathering illegal and the theft claims false.
Speaking at Kandanda House on Saturday, Mohammed said the decision made on 24 April holds no weight because, under the 2017 FKF constitution, only the President can convene a National Executive Committee meeting.
“I have received no formal notice of any meeting,” he stated. “Article 38 is clear: if half the members want a meeting, the President must call it within 21 days. If he fails, they may act. I was never given that chance, so yesterday’s sitting is null and void.”
The members accused him of embezzling Ksh 42 million meant for CHAN 2025 insurance. Mohammed denied any money moved through FKF accounts. “The Confederation of African Football procured and paid for the cover. We did not send a single shilling to any insurer,” he said, daring accusers to show proof.
He linked the attack to his fight against graft. “This is a smear campaign meant to soil my name and cripple the federation. I will assist any investigator, but the facts are on my side,” he added.
FKF now faces a split, with two factions claiming legitimacy while the Ministry of Sports watches closely.
